I just made it to my first world series since I've been playing all the september/postseason games. In game 2 my young lefty with a B starter endurance got tired after about 60 pitches even though he hadn't been in much trouble all game and had only given up 3 hits. I was upset and considered just editing his status to not tired, but I didn't want to cheat and figured he may just be hungover or something so I took him out. Now in game 5 I have Ohka going for me with only a D stamina rating, but he's basically cruising through 3 + only giving up 3 hits and a solo bomb and he get tired somewhere in the 50's...why are my pitchers getting tired, are they just not ready for the world series hype, or is this some kind of coding error or what? please help its pretty much pissing me off

now that I'm in the bottom of the inning in this game I realized that its happening to the oposing pitchers too...now this is definetly effecting a big part of the game in the biggest game of the year, this is rediculous...first flaw that I've experienceed that would make me put this game away and never want to look at it again

How recently had they pitched, rain delay involved?

saves the day82 · 10-17-2003, 07:58 PM

aaaa, rain is the one factor I didn't take into account...there weren't any that I can remember but I wouldn't doubt if there was a delay. Is this something that's been put more into effect since 5.13? it was never really a factor for me in the past

Rain Delays have been around since OOTP4. If you only started playing (rather tham simming) your team's games in September, it is likely that is why you never noticed it as an issue.

You'd have to open the box score and check the notes at the bottom to see if that happened.

I knew they've been around, but I've played before and had rain delays that didn't seem to effect when my pitchers got tired until just now

You were lucky... it happened in v4 as well from time to time

shouldn't your title be wtf?

If the rain delay is short, the pitcher's staminia won't be affected that much. The long delays will shorten a pitcher's outing.

You should also check that your pitchers weren't in a bar fight the night before.

maybe there should be a 7th inning "God Bless America" reduction for visiting teams in Yankee stadium.
